It involves the application of dental knowledge to the identification of living and deceased individuals, age estimation, bite mark analysis, assessment of dental injuries, and investigation of cases involving mass disasters, criminal offenses, and human rights violations.

This durability makes dental evidence one of the most reliable methods of human identification. Disaster Victim Identification (DVI) refers to the scientific process of identifying victims of natural disasters, transportation accidents, terrorist attacks, industrial explosions, wars, and other mass fatality incidents.
